To Harriet's Family. Our heartfelt
sympathy goes out to you all. Harriet
was a very special cousin and friend.
Even though we have not seen each other
in recent years, just knowing that she
is not with us any more leaves a big
hole. We shall cherish our memories
of Harriet, and hope that the great memories she left with you all will help to sustain you in your time of sorrow.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family. She was a beloved cousin who we never really saw enough of. Time and distance rob us of the close relationships that in the end, we all find are the things that really matter. Ronnie Stather Nelson

Dear Lev
Sometimes there are just no words to say those things held in our hearts, but I know the sweetest moments become memories etched there to remain always and belong to us forever.

My thoughts are with you,

Dear Lev and family,

Even in this time of sadness, may warm memories of Harriet bring a smile to comfort your heart. I loved and respected my "big sister", and know that she loved me. With absolute assurance I know her lovely spirit is soaring through eternity with a grace beyond our wildest imaginings.

Our love and sympathy to all,
Mother Ruby, baby sister Dotty Rose, brother-in-law Dennis, and nephews, Jason & Joshua Higgins & families.
